Hi everyone

Ive got a bog stock VZ executive and i am currently looking at mags

I cant decide on 18" or 19" but i am swaying to the 18" as the replacement tyres would be cheaper

Just wondering if there is anything i should be watching for. Any problems putting such large wheels on the car.

Will i need things like camber adjustment or going to 18" should be fine???

Thanks Everyone

To be honest there wouldnt be a great deal of difference between tyres for 18" and 19". Maybe $20-30 a corner difference and when u get 18's ull regret it n want 19's
Should only have to do camber kit if u go really low. Ive dropped my car a fair bit on 20's and im not running a camber kit...can get a fair bit of adjustment just out of a wheel alignment

The biggest thing I a worried about is the camber and wearing out rubber really quickly

I have 19''s on my car. they look too small. IMO the VY-VZ have to have at least 20''s.

To small, wow. Also you have to think about the ride quality with bigger rims, more bigger, more rougher ride.
